Publisher's summary

What do you do when the power goes off?

Terrorists have acquired a terrible new weapon that can crash the power grid and plunge America into a new dark age. A coordinated attack is planned to shut out all lights and emergency services to 10 major cities. Planes will fall, hospitals will go dark, no help will come.

And in that terrible darkness, a dreadful plague will be released. If the lights go off, nothing can stop the bioweapon from killing millions.

At the same time, the intelligence services are being torn apart from within by a plague of betrayal, murder, and suicide. Even the Department of Military Sciences is stumbling in its response to the growing threat.

Time is running out, and Joe is being hunted by a terrifying new kind of assassin. A team of remote viewers have the ability to take over any person and turn ordinary citizens into killers. Where can you turn when there's nobody left to trust?

Joe Ledger faces his deadliest challenge as friends and allies become enemies and all of the lights begin to go out...

One of if not the best Ledger Novel w/ a Caveat

Would you listen to Kill Switch again? Why?

I'm not big on listening to books more than once..

What did you like best about this story?

Integration with pretty much every book before. Ray Porter as always does an INCREDIBLE job. I found myself laughing out loud to myself more times than I can count, and this is a VERY serious story.

What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Brings the characters to life and really distinguishes them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

ill try and say this without any spoilers. The part when Joe talks about all you really need is one good reason to keep going...

Any additional comments?

I WOULD CAUTION ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ THE PREVIOUS BOOKS TO NOT READ THIS WITHOUT DOING SO... There is so much tied into previous books. It is explained a little, but not nearly enough to get everything out of this book. Another thing, which im used to now with the Joe Ledger novels, The "Twist" as to who the bad guy is was beyond predictable. The book is so well written and Joe is such a great character that you don't really care or at least I didn't.

This was one of the most mind bending installments that Joe Ledger has ever been through, and I've literally lost sleep trying to absorb as much as possible in this one! totally worth the backflips your brain will do.

Outstanding

Fantastic book. I'm now a fan of Jonathan Maberry. Grabbed the book on a whim and couldn't be happier I did. Look forward to the next adventure.

Best book in series!

Fantastic book, opens so many new doors! I've been a fan since the first book, but this one blew my mind, it truly did. Maybe it's because by now I know the characters, but this book gives you so much more depth to them.

Pick it up, prepare to enjoy the hell out of it!
